This is further aggravated after an event that marked his life, so Christopher decides to focus only on his work, making him even more lonely if possible.

Eu mantive um relacionamento por sete anos com o melhor amigo do meu irmão mais velho, o Alfa Alexander Parker. Mas o nosso relacionamento sempre ficou escondido nas sombras. Depois de beber aguardente demais numa noite, Alexander ficou completamente bêbado e me disse: — Willow, a Stella está com um filhote agora. Se ela não tiver um companheiro, os anciãos vão expulsá-la da alcateia. Tudo bem se eu der a ela a posição de Luna por enquanto? Num tom calmo e dócil, respondi: — Tudo bem. Na minha vida anterior, eu não aceitei a sugestão de Alexander. Também insisti em realizar a cerimônia de acasalamento com ele. Enquanto isso, a barriga de Stella Lockhart continuou crescendo com o passar das semanas. No fim, ela já não conseguia mais esconder. Enfurecidos, os anciãos, acabaram expulsando-a da alcateia. Depois que Stella foi embora, Alexander nunca mais voltou para casa, nem me dirigiu uma única palavra. Eu sabia que ele colocava toda a culpa em mim. Algum tempo depois, morri consumida pela culpa e pela depressão. Quando eu estava prestes a fechar os olhos, vi Alexander invadindo meu quarto, alarmado. Stella, que supostamente tinha sido expulsa da alcateia, vinha logo atrás dele, com um filhote nos braços. Foi então que eu finalmente entendi que, apesar de Alexander ter salvado Stella, ele nunca foi o companheiro mais adequado para mim. Agora que renasci, não recusei a sugestão dele. Em vez disso, decidi cortar completamente todos os laços entre nós, para que ele e Stella pudessem viver felizes para sempre.

My best friend wanted to adopt an injured kitten. Seeing the cat’s unusual appearance, I suddenly recalled a state-protected animal called the manul. Its young resembled cats but were exceptionally ferocious. So, I advised her against keeping it. But my friend would not listen to me and brought it back to our rental apartment. Unexpectedly, the manul seemed to understand human emotions and harbored a grudge against me. Five years later, it suddenly burst into my home and killed my entire family. I lunged to kill it, only to have my throat torn. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my best friend adopted the manul. This time, I did not stop her from taking it in.

When a ferocious storm tore through our town, Frank Turner risked his life to save me from being swept off our balcony's edge. Grateful, I finally said yes to his relentless marriage proposals. From then on, he treated me like royalty, fussing over every sniffle. To the world, he was the gold standard of devotion. But two years into our marriage, his warmth faded. When crippling stomach pain left me doubled over, he brushed it off, claiming work demanded his night. I went to find him, only to catch him in a steamed-up car with a girl, both stripped bare. My fairy-tale marriage shattered like glass. Turning around, I booked a flight and left the country. Frank tore the city apart looking for me, but it was too late.

No momento do terremoto, meu marido, capitão da equipe de resgate, me deixou para trás e correu para salvar a mulher que amava, Luna Soares. Eu não o impedi. Apenas deixei que ele fosse. Tudo porque, na minha vida passada, diante da mesma escolha, ele me resgatou primeiro, eu, grávida de oito meses. E Luna, por causa do atraso no socorro, foi soterrada nos escombros durante uma réplica e morreu asfixiada. Mais tarde, no dia em que fui dar à luz, ele me levou até o túmulo dela. Assistiu friamente enquanto eu desabava no chão de tanta dor, implorando ajuda. — Talita, está doendo? A dor que a Luna sentiu debaixo dos escombros foi mil vezes pior! Olhei, incrédula, para o homem enlouquecido à minha frente. — No dia do terremoto você estava numa zona segura! Se não tivesse usado a gravidez como chantagem, Luna teria tido a chance de ser salva! — Todo o sofrimento da Luna… eu quero que você sinta com seu próprio corpo! Ele me forçou a ajoelhar e bater a cabeça diante da foto da Luna, enquanto o sangue escorria por entre minhas pernas. Acabei morrendo de hemorragia durante o parto. Quando abri os olhos novamente, era o mesmo dia do terremoto. Desta vez, nem eu nem meu filho vamos esperar por ele.

I was ten when my Omega mother mated the Alpha of the Blackwood Pack. My stepbrother, Draven, never let me forget how I’d diluted their pure blood. With his silent blessing, the entire pack became a weapon to carry out his hate. During a full moon hunt, he gave the nod. That's all it took. His followers "accidentally" pushed me in front of a raging stag. I felt its antlers rip my shoulder open. He looked down at me, his golden eyes dripping with scorn. “Don’t think you’re one of us just because your mother latched onto my father. Weaklings get culled. And I’ll be the one to kick you off my land.” At his command, they'd ruin my offerings to the Moon Goddess. They shredded my coming-of-age gown with silver blades. Through it all, my mother would only look at me with shame. My stepfather, the great Alpha, just saw me as a troublesome brat. I made myself small, desperate for a scrap of kindness. But it only made me the pack outcast. Hated and completely alone. Until Draven’s best friend, Liam—the Alpha heir to the Rage River Pack—showed interest in me at the werewolf academy. For the first time ever, Draven left me alone. I thought Liam was my only light in the darkness. On my birthday, I gave myself to him completely. The next day, I overheard him talking to Draven. Draven’s voice was low, laced with venom. “Did you get the video? Of the half-blood losing control mid-fuck?” Liam chuckled. “Of course. Gotta admit, she feels amazing. So soft… a real temptation. Almost got me hooked. But just in bed. The thought of her dirty blood…If it wasn’t to help you get even, I would’ve never touched a weak-blooded Omega like her.” I clamped a hand over my mouth, tears streaming down my face. My only hope was a lie. But they didn't know. I’d already applied to the Valeriana Werewolf Institute. And I wasn’t coming back.

Depois de ser demitida da empresa, voltei para o interior e, todos os dias, ia jogar dominó com a minha avó. Mas, de repente, minha família inteira parecia ter enlouquecido e estava me procurando por toda parte. Tudo porque, depois que fui embora, minha irmã, a genial designer de joias, não conseguia mais criar nenhum esboço. Na vida anterior, durante o Concurso Nacional de Design de Joias, minha irmã sempre conseguia apresentar antes de mim um rascunho idêntico ao meu. Todos acreditavam que eu plagiava, até mesmo minha família se levantou para testemunhar a favor dela. A empresa concluiu que eu tinha má conduta e havia copiado obras, causando danos à reputação deles; me demitiram na hora e ainda exigiram que eu pagasse uma indenização gigantesca. E minha família passou a me ver como um fardo, me expulsando de casa. Sob a pressão do afeto familiar destruído e da opinião pública, desenvolvi depressão e, caminhando pela rua, fui atropelada por um fã da minha irmã.

Quando abri os olhos novamente, tinha voltado para o dia anterior ao Concurso Nacional de Design de Joias.

When the half-mile sprint test is about to begin, Quiana Sullivan, the class president, and I have applied to be exempted from it. My own mother, who's the homeroom teacher of my class, approves Quiana's application with a smile. But she then throws mine to the floor. "You're having a chest pain, you say? I can't believe you're able to come up with such lies just to avoid the half-mile sprint! I'd have known if you had a heart condition! "Quiana is weak by nature, not to mention she's on her period right now, so she can't handle the agony. What about you, hmm? You've always been perfectly healthy, yet now you're telling me that you're suffering from heart pain? "Don't go around embarrassing me just because you want to slack off! I don't want others claiming that I'm being biased toward my own child! As long as you're still alive and kicking, you must finish the half-mile course no matter what!" Left without a choice, I can only return to the field. The cold wind makes me feel even dizzier now. My heart keeps contracting uncontrollably against my will. Suddenly, it just stops pumping. The next thing I know, I collapse onto the grassy field heavily. When my consciousness is about to flicker to darkness, my mom finally walks over to me. But she merely kicks my arm with a frown on her face, and her tone remains glacial. "Stop playing dead. Get up right now." She doesn't realize that I can never open my eyes ever again. Isn't this great, Mom? No one will ever claim that you're biased toward your own child. I've used my life to prove how fair and just you are. You must be happy now, right?
